Found a really great tool that works on Firefox browsers. If you haven’t yet begun to use Firefox, I have no idea what you’re waiting for. I couldn’t possibly do my SEO work without some of the great extensions that Firefox offers.
Anyway, Mani Karthik wrote a great little script that you can install onto Firefox so that when you do a search on Google, you not only get the Google results but you also get the top 5 results from Twitter! Now, that is pretty cool!
You’ll need the Greasemonkey Extension already installed (but you should have that anyway!)
So, how does this script help you? Well, let’s see…
1) It provides more exposure. Let’s say you’re a divorce lawyer in Colorado. You can Tweet about “divorce laws in Colorado” and you’re also marketing that phrase on your website. When someone does a search for “divorce laws in Colorado” not only will your website come up (if it’s optimized) but your Tweet will come up as well! So, you basically end up with 2 listings on the Google search.
Yes, I know, this only works IF the person has this extension installed on their Firefox and it’s true, it may be a small percentage but the concept is that it’s an easy way to get extra exposure.
2) For researchers (such as myself) it’s an added bonus to have an additional source of information on my search results. In addition, the Twitter information is real time so it’s more updated than the search results on Google (at least, potentially).
So, give it a try. You just might like it!! And if you do, pass it on!
